More proof the virus panic is bullshit

[OldJourno]

The latest statistics from Nevada are out, and if anyone would care to look beyond the headlines or the 10-second sound bites I'll wager there is not a real significant difference between what is going on here and what is going on where you live.
For instance, in the deaths column (the one that really counts) we find that 62 percent of Nevada's China virus dead are 70 or over, and when you include those 60 and over the total jumps to 81 percent.
12 percent are in the 50 to 59 percent age group, 5 percent in 40 to 49, and 1 percent is in the 30-39 age group.
Covid-19 has killed no one under the age of 30 in Nevada, yet the fifth-largest school district in the country will not open its campuses nor will there will fall high school sports in the entire state.
Schools all over Europe have been in session since late spring.

Almost 1,100 have died of the virus in Nevada. Given the ages of the deceased, and the medical histories of those who have died, it would seem that the way to proceed would be to let the adults decide.

Let the adults decide?
I can hear the shrieking now.

the same amount of people are dying every 3 days as 9/11.

 

[doowdniw]

CDC says up to 200,000 deaths by Labor Day. Considering where we are now, that definitely seems attainable.

 

[Tigersman]

This sounds like the Lt. Governor Dan Patrick of Texas. He advocated that all old people should die so that the younger ones could live. Unfortunately he has not volunteered to die yet like a good little Republican.

One can say that about all the pandemics.

If the adults decide not to chance any of their loved ones to a preventable death regardless of their ages, then how will you shriek?

This reminds me of the attitude of generals in the first world war: sociopathic & innumerate.

A Quarter of a Million Covid dead Americans by November 3rd. Mebbe Trump can re-install one or two of those post boxes in Heaven.

And every single American voter will know a victim.

The bigger problem is that the CDC is paying facilities to check that one box. As a result, we may never know the true numbers. How many have die from this and this alone ... would not have died during this period without it? That number may be very small. Many of the 'victims' very likely would have died anyways given their conditions. Certainly many in the nursing home and convalescent centers. Healthy people don't go there and they don't call them 'waiting rooms' for nothing.

 

[jaF0]

Read a personal account posted on another forum. Poster stated their family member had a long history of heart trouble. The relative died recently of a heart attack. Everybody knew it. When they saw The Bug listed as the cause of death on the certificate, they pitched a bitch and raised hell until the facility corrected the error.

Mass hysteria makes people say and do such stupid things.

It's excess deaths that are significant. Take the seasonal average over five years, plot that, then plot the extra deaths. It's basic maths. The true numbers don't matter.

Extra deaths are caused when hospitals can't cope with covid+seasonal flu and then the death rate/infection will rise from 0.7% upward.

On a happier note, I think the first vaccines will arrive in the middle of normal flu season and that will help the hospitals cope and they may not have to stack dead people six deep.

Disagree. In matters like this, the real truth is critical. It can help decide what actions might be more appropriate in the future. It may determine that whole whole mask thing and all of the shutdowns accomplished nothing at all.

GOooo team!

This is pointless. Do whatever you like ... meanwhile other countries are on top of their infections and getting people ( safely ) back to work. Just fake news of course...

 

[Trumpedo]

Americans want to prolong the covid crisis so they don't have to work. Meanwhile the rest of the world gets on with business.

TOTALLY untrue that schools in Europe being in session since late Spring.

Yes, it is indeed pointless to argue with an American cult follower. De-programming of their current mass psychosis will require time and a change in national leadership.

They do seem to squirm quite a bit when you get inside their heads and examine the causes of their deeply programmed reality-denial circuits. All in the name of science, of course.

We start school in 2 weeks. It won’t be remote. It won’t be a hybrid.
I do agree that children need to get back to normal and going to school is part of the normal.
But do you want your child or grandchild to be a science experiment? Because they really don’t know yet.
I am quite mixed on this. We will see what happens.

How many grandchildren do you have in school? Must be hard.

Not even through with wave one yet. Quebec/Montreal was the epicentre of Canada. But school is starting in two weeks. Mandatory.
